a weekend away

Dirk and Yohannes trying to dam up the river.



This is Kiera and Jason. Kiera loved the ATV as did Dayna and Dirk. Mom was not so sure.....

We were invited up to Colorado with the Bremer-Bennetts. We enjoyed the hospitality of Theo's parents. i took my first ATV ride and the kids really enjoyed playing together. Dirk and Johannes were on the same soccer team and have become good friends.

Soccer season is over and I think this year was the first year Dirk really enjoyed playing. He was definately one of the bigger kids out there and it seems he has inherited what I call "the brick wall effect", from his Dad. The "brick wall effect", is when kids run into Dirk to try and get the ball from him and they just fall over. I've heard that it happens to Jas at early morning basketball :) (It's like running into a brick wall.)
Below is a link to a you tube video of Dirk playing soccer. I apologize for the bad video,( very bad) of Dirk playing soccer. It was my first time using the video camera and editing a video. I did not realize that I could not edit it once I closed the file. So when you see the ref wave all the kids off the field you might want to stop watching unless you enjoy motion sickness! Just copy the address and paste it into your search bar.
